Lindsay says: "Very disappointed with the standard of accomodation. Kitchen floor was unsafe and during our stay several areas of the floor collapsed. In one of the bedrooms the ceiling was leaking and we were unable to use the bedroom. The entrance/hall that is described as a possible bedroom was also leaking. Wires were visible throughout the house. Access to the house is very poor. We were advised on arrival that the fridge wasnt working and no attempt was made to offer us an alternative."
